Lough Dan Camping
This year on my Ty camping trip in Lough Dan I felt that I learnt a lot about myself and that everybody became closer as a year group.
After receiving our Junior Cert results we set off to Lough Dan, the three day experience gave everybody time to reflect on their results, personally i thought about how I could improve my results over the next few years and score higher in my Leaving cert.
Both in the campsite and on the hikes I thought everybody bonded, whether it was through setting up tents, cooking around a stove or helping each other across a river, everybody had to in some way pull together and work as a team.
After this great experience I would have a lot of advice to anybody going camping and i learnt a great deal about my year group, i really felt like this was the end of our Junior Cycle and we are now ready for the Leaving Cert. I would also like to thank all of the teachers who accompanied us on the trip for giving up their time to camp in the wet and cold.

Chuamar ag campáil ar lá de torthaí na scrúdaithe. D'éirigh go h-an mhaith leis an mblian sa Teastas Sóisearach agus bhí aoibh mhaith ar ghach duine. Phacálamar ár málaí le eadaí teolái agus bia deas agus aghaidh linn go dtí an ionad campála i sléibhte Cill Mhantáin. Bhí sé dúshlánach an poball a chuí suas ach d'éirigh linn ag an deireadh. Chuamar ar súrloíd fada ar an gcéad lá. Nuair a d'fhilleamar ar ais, Rinneamar marshmallows thar an tine campála. Ar an dara lá chuamar ag sléibhteoireacht agus ag snámh. Bhí BBQ againn agus bhíomar ag canadh agus ag roinnt scéalta timpeall an tine campála. Ní raibh mé ag campáil cheana agus thaitin sé go mor liom. Ba thaithí fiúntach é.
Carlingford
On Monday the 19th of February we started our outdoor pursuits week in Carlingford. When we arrived in the town the first thing I noticed was the amazing scenery. The town is on an estuary with beautiful mountains surrounding it.
The adventure centre itself was really welcoming and all of the staff were very helpful. It was a great place to stay because the rooms were close together and the common rooms were perfect places for everybody to relax.
All of the activities were challenging and great fun. We did things like the night line walk and rowing that we're team building activities and sky park course and high ropes that required individual skill. My favourite activity from the whole week was the laser combat in the forest, this was so much fun as the laser combat in the forest, this was so much fun as the teams had to work together to avoid being shot at.
Overall the week was amazing fun and not even the weather was bad. Huge thanks to all of the teachers for coming with us.
